1 day ago · Cardiovascular alterations are common in patients who had ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke and other acute brain disorders such as seizures. These cardiac complications are important drivers of morbidity and mortality and comprise blood-based detection of cardiomyocyte damage, ECG changes, heart failure and arrhythmia. Recently, the concept of a distinct ‘stroke-heart syndrome’ has ...
Evolving use and clinical outcomes of coronary intravascular ...
Background Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is increasingly used for treatment of coronary artery calcification. This study aimed to evaluate contemporary utilisation patterns, safety and efficacy of IVL in an unselected real-world patient cohort. Methods We included 454 patients undergoing IVL from May 2019 to February 2024 across seven centres in …

Prevalence and functional impact of chronotropic incompetence in ...
6 days ago · Background Little evidence is available about heart rate (HR) response to exercise as well as its relationship with functional capacity in amyloid cardiomyopathy. Then, in a multicentre cohort of patients with amyloid cardiomyopathy, we investigated the prevalence of chronotropic incompetence (CI) and its relationships with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) variables.

Association of innate versus specific immunity with heart failure ...
Background Immune disorders are key heart failure (HF) triggers, but little is known about whether the status of immunity affects the incidence of HF. To explore this, we used blood cell counts and derived ratios to investigate the association between immunity status markers and HF incidence. Methods The number and proportion of peripheral blood leucocytes in …
Advancing the access to cardiovascular diagnosis and treatment …
Despite significant progress in cardiovascular pharmacotherapy and interventional strategies, cardiovascular disease (CVD), in particular ischaemic heart disease, remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women in the UK and worldwide. Women are underdiagnosed, undertreated and under-represented in clinical trials directed at management strategies for CVD, making their results ...
Associations between circulating proteins and cardiometabolic
Background Integration of large proteomics and genetic data in population-based studies can provide insights into discovery of novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). We aimed to synthesise existing evidence on the observational and genetic associations between circulating proteins and CMD. Methods PubMed, Embase and Web of Science were searched ...
